Crawford: Sheehan Supporter Physically "Attacks" Cameraman

While news cameras were filming the event, Marine Jeff Key physically grabbed a cameraman from San Francisco local affiliate KGO. Key objected to the cameraman’s shooting position, which was on the same site where the protesters have erected crosses listing the names of fallen soldiers in Iraq. Here's a photo from right before the altercation took place:

I asked Mark Matthews of KGO about the alleged assault, “I’m not happy about it. We’re happy to abide by the rules when we know what the rules are. But there was no message communicated to us to stay out of the crosses. And last night, photographers, supporters of Cindy Sheehan, people praying, clapping and singing were here amongst the crosses. 13 hours later, it’s off limits without any notification to us.”

I asked one of Sheehan’s spokeswoman if she condoned Key’s assault of the cameraman. She would not answer my question directly, instead saying, “I think if we all do our fair share, we’ll work to keep everybody out of the way … That’s all we need is to have people stay out of the crosses … I think that’s all being worked out privately. I think the cameraman and the Iraq veteran was doing his best to honor the fallen will work it out.”

Here's a pic of the spokeswoman who refused to answser my question:

Good illustration.

I also wonder if all Americans who lost there lives in Iraq would choose to have a cross over their remains...maybe we have some non-Christian Patriots...yuh think?

I've been reading this thread and you seem to be bent on perpetuating a semasiological discussion of the meaning of the word "cross."

I, for one, surrender you have the correct understanding of the word...

But this thread is not really about semantics is it?

[MissouriConservative]

Reminds of me of Clinton when he went to Normandy...the press was at a distance, somehow stones found their way to the beach along Clinton's path, and then stopped, bent down and put the stones in the shape of a cross....all staged for the media to lap up like a bunch of poodles.

"I know Cindy and the camp. We don't like David Duke and the aryans either. We are not associated with them."

Are you associated with Code Pink?

[King Prout]

you're kidding, I hope?

A good thing to remember is that anyone can come here and say anything, make any claims, be anyone, etc. There are time where we must consider creditability. A good Goggle search can find anything on just about anyone. You call yourself a patriot? Anyone can do that but it does not make make them one.
Even Benedict Arnold was a good patriot at one time.

The left will use ANYTHING - even an "offensive" religious symbol such as a cross - if it furthers their political agenda.

I live in NYC as well, Maloney is a liberal joke.

Thank God!

[lugsoul]

Well, now. Your 'sweeping generalization' just wrote off the faith of more than 5% of the US population, many of them baptised, believing Christians, including many members of my own family. Easily sufficient for me to say that you don't know what the hell you are talking about and that I have no further use for your sectarian bigotry.

[benjibrowder]

That...was DISGUSTING! Next time put an alert or something on it.

[Charlespg]

bought your copy of the koran yet?

Hey, even the sun shines on a dog's arse once in a while....

[2nd amendment mama]

Sorry...I DID say it was disgusting!

[auntyfemenist]

Aren't those crosses on public property? Someone should call the ACLU!!

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

Amazing! Do a google on "Jeff Key". There's some great pics of him and a little bio about what kind of man he is looking for.*barf* I am not going to post the link as it is a "nasty" site but if you want the link FReepmail me.

Let's just say that I don't see the Liberal bloggers doing full page "outing" stories with photos on this guy.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Well, the ACLU will only go after offenses that only benefit their cause and agendas.
Still , regardless if these crosses are on public property or private property, they still need a sign permit.
